Arabic hadith text

حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ، قَالَ‏:‏ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ سَعِيدٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَمْرَةَ، عَنْ عَمْرَةَ، أَنَّ عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا دَبَّرَتْ أَمَةً لَهَا، فَاشْتَكَتْ عَائِشَةُ، فَسَأَلَ بَنُو أَخِيهَا طَبِيبًا مِنَ الزُّطِّ، فَقَالَ‏:‏ إِنَّكُمْ تُخْبِرُونِي عَنِ امْرَأَةٍ مَسْحُورَةٍ، سَحَرَتْهَا أَمَةٌ لَهَا، فَأُخْبِرَتْ عَائِشَةُ، قَالَتْ‏:‏ سَحَرْتِينِي‏؟‏ فَقَالَتْ‏:‏ نَعَمْ، فَقَالَتْ‏:‏ وَلِمَ‏؟‏ لاَ تَنْجَيْنَ أَبَدًا، ثُمَّ قَالَتْ‏:‏ بِيعُوهَا مِنْ شَرِّ الْعَرَبِ مَلَكَةً‏.‏

Sulayman ibn Harb narrated to us. He said: Hammad ibn Zayd narrated to us, from Yahya ibn Said, from Ibn Amra, from Amra: Aisha, may Allah be pleased with her, had made a slave woman hers by a deferred manumission arrangement. Aisha fell ill, and her nephews asked a physician from the Zutt about her. He said, 'You are telling me about a bewitched woman whom one of her slave women has bewitched.' Aisha was informed. She asked the woman, 'Did you bewitch me?' She said, 'Yes.' Aisha asked, 'Why?' Then she said, 'May you never recover!' She then said, 'Sell her as a slave to the worst of the Arabs.'

  • دَبَّرَتْ أَمَةً لَهَا،

    Dabbara refers to a manumission arrangement taking effect after the owner's death; the source does not elaborate the legal terms.

    Should this technical term receive an explanatory note under the project's policy?

  • طَبِيبًا مِنَ الزُّطِّ،

    The source names the Zutt, an ethnonym; contextual identification is not provided here.

    Should the transliteration be retained without further identification?
